Bullshit Trump Says

This NY Times article points out something that Trump has done which is different from any POTUS in recent memory: he has only governed to his base, and has not tried to expand it. Even George W. Bush reached out to Latinos (with considerable success) after his 2000 election, and Clinton targeted independents and working-class Southerners with some success. Reagan famously had the "Reagan Democrats", and even Nixon targeted blue-collar Democratic voters (the Archie Bunker vote). Trump has actually alienated anyone who didn't vote for him in 2016, and has only paid attention to his core supporters. According to the article, what he and his aides are betting is that he can either increase the numbers of first-time voters in 2020, or his loyal 46% will be enough to cobble together another Electoral Vote majority, while the Dems screw it up yet again. Sadly, that strategy may work.

Polling numbers look like Trump's gonna jump on legalizing marijuana, and blame the administration's crackdown on Sessions. Wonder how popular that will be at the ballot box
 
Sounds like a smart move. The only Dem who won statewide in FL was bankrolled by the weed lobby. Once Dems seize that issue it could put them over the top in plenty of districts and states.
 
 
I posted it in the GOP Debacle thread, but the Vox article re: conspiracists and the growing difficulty with refuting such conspiracist claims actually mentions exactly what Trump is trying to do here. If they say that "people say that" or "a lot of people will tell you", it's just a fantastical way of convincing their own brain that it's true, regardless of facts or expert opinion. The U.S. military is not depleted, if anything it's bloated and resources that are given to the military should be allocated elsewhere.
 
Did he brag about the size of his dong, too?

Seriously it wouldn’t shock me at all if he made an innuendo about his “big hands” in front of the kids.

Weird that parents take their kids to be around him. Dudes a grade A liar and filthy
 
President Trump Bragged About the Border Wall to a Group of Children at the Easter Egg Roll

President Donald Trump used the opportunity of the White House Easter Egg Roll to address some of his youngest supporters about one of his signature policy initiatives: building a wall on the southern U.S. border.

“Oh it’s happening, it’s being built now,” Trump told a group of children as he colored pictures with them on Monday in celebration of Easter on the White House’s South Lawn.

“Here’s a young guy just said ‘keep building that wall.’ Do you believe it? He’s going to be a conservative someday,” the president said.
 
I know people say this all the time, but that should be a quote from an onion article.
 
Particularly bratty morning for our president.
 
Can’t wait to see what he has to say if and when he loses the 2020 election at the ballot box.
